     Actually I've just come back having been rejected in Melbourne with a
     haemoglobin of 14.3.  This is due to concern about the very mild
     persistent diarrhoea which I still get, and the possibility of fluid
     imbalance afterwards.

     Interestingly I was however accepted as a Bone Marrow Donor.
